    Hrm..  how accurate is it?  I would imagine that whever you take a large chunk
    of data and compress it into a tiny signature, it would be possible for two
    different sets of data, or more, to have the same signature.  I assume it's much
    faster than checking if the data itself is identical on both sides of the
    connection :)
